Possible to use an icon other than the default when building a distribution executable for a third party customer ?

[Ryyker]

I build stand-alone exe's for customers, and would like to know if in the "Build Distribution Kit" dialog there is an option for using a non-standard icon? If not, what else will work...? Thanks.

Hi,
You can change the default icon using 'Target Settings' window (accessible from 'Build/Target settings' menu). You can either use the 'Application Icon File' or double-click on the icon to specify the desired icon.
Once you have changed the icon for the executable, your stand-alone executable would have this new icon too.

1. Using windows "START" button,
START->Programs->National Instruments CVI
->Utility Programs->Icon Editor.

2. Double click the icon editor.
Create your ICON.

3. Save your icon by,"FILE" "SAVE AS"
xxxxxx.ico. I suggest you save the
icon in your program folder.

4. Now build a stand alone executable.
CVI will ask for "name" and "path"
of the icon.

5. By dragging the .exe to your desktop
your icon will follow.

6. When you create a distribution kit the
icon will be placed into the kit.

7. After the customer installs the kit
the icon will show up in a small window
they can drag the icon to the disk top
or drag the .exe to the disk top at a
later time.
